Chapter 90: Wife
“Hey, Mo Ziyang…”
Under the blanket, Lin Muxi turned over, blushing as she shyly looked at the good bro lying beside her.
“What is it? Just tell me if you have something to say.”
Facing the small and delicate Lin Muxi in his arms, Mo Ziyang lightly pinched her cute little face.
“Ow~ it hurts…” Lin Muxi immediately looked unhappy, as if she felt her good bro was underestimating her.
“I didn’t even use any strength.”
Seeing her puffing her cheeks and acting spoiled, Mo Ziyang’s eyes carried a touch of affection, and a faint smile appeared on his face as he gently patted her head.
“No, it still hurt anyway.”
Pouting her lips, Lin Muxi immediately started acting spoiled on purpose. Since her good bro was on her side right now, she didn’t mind acting clingy.
But that expression only made Mo Ziyang have some bad ideas. He stared at this silly girl for a while, and when she wasn’t paying attention, Mo Ziyang suddenly kissed her cheek.
“Wahhhh—what are you doing!”
Her face instantly turned red. Caught off guard, Lin Muxi raised her small hands and kept hitting Mo Ziyang.
Kissing her just like that—what did he think she was?!
Did she have no shame?!
Even if he was her good bro, this was too much!
“Didn’t you say it hurt? Look, one kiss and it doesn’t hurt anymore.” Mo Ziyang chuckled at her reaction and whispered into her ear.
“Hmph!” Seeing how shameless he was, Lin Muxi quickly turned her back to him, insisting stubbornly, “Who said so? It still hurts. That didn’t help at all.”
“Really?” Mo Ziyang lowered his voice next to her ear, half-smiling.
“Really!”
“Then… should I kiss you again?”
Watching the blush on Lin Muxi’s face spread all the way to her ears, Mo Ziyang almost couldn’t bring himself to tease this silly girl anymore.
But since she clearly wanted to act spoiled, he decided to play along. Besides, he actually liked this adorable side of Lin Muxi. The only pity was that she only showed this side when they were alone. Wanting her to act like a sweet little wife in front of others, that would be very difficult.
“Go away! I don’t want you kissing me.” Annoyed by his mushy words, Lin Muxi moved further away from her good bro.
“Sigh… but you were just calling me ‘husband’ a moment ago, and now…”
“Ahhhh—shut up!”
Before Mo Ziyang could finish speaking, Lin Muxi, blushing hard, suddenly sat up from the bed. She stared into his eyes and quickly used both hands to cover his mouth.
From the embarrassed and angry look on her face, it was easy to see that right now Lin Muxi just wanted to dig a hole and hide herself in it.
Ughhh… she had totally lost.
She couldn’t even lift her head in front of him anymore.
But Mo Ziyang didn’t react much. He just quietly looked at Lin Muxi, then sat up and gently moved her hands away.
“Alright, so what exactly do you want to tell me?”
With just a little pull, Lin Muxi once again fell into his arms.
“It’s just… about university… isn’t the college entrance exam coming soon?”
“Oh?”
Mo Ziyang raised his brows a little, clearly surprised. He didn’t expect Lin Muxi would bring this up.
“You really want to go to the same school as your husband?” Mo Ziyang said with a teasing smile.
“Ugh… be serious, will you!”
Always being teased by him, Lin Muxi got a little upset. Her cheeks flushed as she pouted and looked at him with a hint of annoyance.
Seeing the way this silly girl’s big eyes were filled with grievance, Mo Ziyang also became serious.
“Alright then, do you want to apply to the same university as me?” he asked softly, while gently patting her head.
“Can’t you be the one to go to the same school as me…?”
Hearing that, Lin Muxi’s expression turned slightly downcast, but then her eyes lit up with hope as she looked at him, her gaze sparkling like little stars.
“Of course I can. Whatever my wife says goes.”
Mo Ziyang nodded with a smile, lowering his head to gaze tenderly at the girl in his arms, his precious treasure.
“W-who’s your wife…”
Even though his words made her shy, Lin Muxi couldn’t stop the small smile that tugged at the corners of her lips.
“Are you happy now?”
“Mm…” Lin Muxi hugged him tightly, and Mo Ziyang hugged her back, finally seeing her satisfied smile.
“Then it’s settled, you have to apply to the same university as me.”
“Mm, it’s settled.”
Looking at how happy Lin Muxi was in his arms, Mo Ziyang couldn’t help but smile from the heart. For him, even if she hadn’t said it, he would definitely choose the same school as his silly girl.
After all, he couldn’t let this little fool wander around on her own. With that brain of hers, she’d probably get tricked and even help the scammer count the money.
And anyway, if someone was going to “trick” her, it would only be him, no one else would get the chance. Lin Muxi could only ever be his.
“Oh right, after dinner, were you hanging out with Xiao Luyu?”
After settling her main concern, Lin Muxi quickly switched topics, starting to gossip about Yu Xiaoxiao instead.
She twisted her body a little and rubbed against Mo Ziyang, tilting her head with curiosity as she looked at her good bro.
“Yes.”
“So, did he say anything? Tell me quickly.”
When she realized her good bro really had been with that guy, Lin Muxi instantly caught the scent of gossip and became excited. She eagerly clung to her good bro, urging him to tell her the story.
“Well, it looks like that guy has really made up his mind to chase after Yu Xiaoxiao.” Mo Ziyang touched his chin, thought for a moment, and said.
“Really? That’s great!”
Hearing this answer, Lin Muxi relaxed in relief and leaned softly into his arms, her small eyes showing a look of expectation.
“What’s so good about that?”
Mo Ziyang didn’t quite get why it was something to be happy about. But Lin Muxi raised her little face in his arms and looked at him.
“Think about it, Yu Xiaoxiao is my good friend, and Xiao Luyu is your brother. Wouldn’t they make a great match?”
“Ahh~!”
Just as she finished speaking, Lin Muxi’s little head got a light “attack” from her good bro.
“Who told you that Xiao Luyu is my good brother?” Mo Ziyang’s slightly angry look left Lin Muxi confused.
Did she say something wrong? That shouldn’t be…
Though puzzled, she instinctively snuggled closer into his arms, a bit afraid that her good bro might tease her again.
“Isn’t… isn’t he…?”
“Of course not. The only person who can be my good bro is right here, acting spoiled in my arms.”
“Eh?” Lin Muxi froze, not reacting right away.
It wasn’t until Mo Ziyang pinched her cheek and asked, “Isn’t that right, little dummy?” that she finally widened her eyes in surprise.
“Ehh—!” Her voice suddenly rose as she stared at him in disbelief.
“What’s there to be shy about?” Mo Ziyang chuckled at her reaction.
“N-no… it’s just… a little unexpected…”
Hearing him say such serious words, Lin Muxi felt her face burn.
But deep inside, she wasn’t just surprised, her heart was beating like crazy, and her blushing face was filled with panic.
Seriously… why was her good bro getting better and better at teasing her?
He used to be as stiff as a block of wood… but now, the ways he flirted with her were growing by the day.
“Alright, if there’s nothing else, hurry and rest.” He poked her soft, pale cheek as he spoke.
“Mm… then… can you stay with me tonight?”
“Of course, no problem, my dear wife.”
Facing Lin Muxi's request, Mo Ziyang smiled gently.
